Genus
Agromyza
Fallén
This genus is well represented in the Palaearctic region. Only four species,
Agromyza latipennis
Malloch,
A.
oryzae (Munakata),
A. panici
Meijere
and
A
.
phragmitidis
Hendel
, have hitherto been known to occur in
Thailand
(Sasakawa 1981; Spencer 1961a, 1986). The occurrence of three more species,
A. comosa
Spencer,
A.
flavisquama Malloch and
A. pennisetivora
Spencer
, are recorded below for the first time.
Agromyza flavisquama
,
A. latipennis
,
A. oryzae
,
A. panici
,
A. pennisetivora
and
A. phragmitidis
are known as leafminers of the
Poaceae (Gramineae)
. The male genitalia of
A. comosa
, figured in Sasakawa (1972: fig. 1) and Spencer (1962a: fig. 26), are characteristic of these grass-miners.
